Stress Is Not a Momentary Problem

Stress does not happen only when we sit quietly and reflect. It happens while moving through life.

That is why many people feel calm during meditation, but stressed again shortly after.

Research shows that stress reduction works best when regulation skills are trained in context.

What the Research Shows

A large meta-analysis by Goyal and colleagues reviewed the effects of meditation programs on stress and anxiety.

Key findings:

• Meditation reduces stress and anxiety reliably
• Effects are moderate but meaningful
• Benefits depend on regular engagement

Why Context Matters for Stress

Stress responses are learned patterns. They are triggered by environments, tasks, and expectations.

Training calm only in stillness limits transfer.

How intuno Supports Stress Regulation

intuno guides meditation during stress-relevant activities such as:

• Walking between meetings
• Tidying when overwhelmed
• Moving after prolonged sitting

This helps the nervous system learn regulation where stress actually occurs.
